Description

Report

Hi dear teams,
Thank you so much for the wonderful work. It's surprising that the dropout on the conditional embedding is recommended to set very high. Could you please help to explain some insights behind this choice, and what's effect when setting the conditional embedding dropout to high / low value seperately?

Best,
Xinyu
